Not too sure if these should be classed as People or Sports but i'll leave them here anyway. These were taken on the sand dunes in Formby, UK. My friend decided to try a few jumps on the top of the dunes and so I shot these pictures as quickly as I could. Unfortunately I was using my 100mm Macro at the time :( Hopefully I will be able to get him to do it again but when I have the right lens with me.

Nice shots! First isn't focused quite right, and the shutter speed looks a little low.

yeah - the first one unfortunately missed the focus a little as it focused on where he jumped from as opposed to where he actually was when the shutter went. Ah well, it's a good excuse to get him to flip out again :)
